The California Rare Book School has released its 2009 summer course schedule. I took a course there last August, Books of the Far West, with an Emphasis on California, taught by Gary Kurutz. Not only was it a fun and interesting course, but each day we handled actual primary sources of history and rare books. I highly recommend this course (or any of the Rare Book School courses, for that matter) to book collectors, booksellers, librarians, and historians. Most of the courses are held on or near the UCLA campus.

Sorry for the short post today. Lots of the usual domestic stuff to do!
